How is ruthless ssf going for u guys/girls? ^^

I found this earlier in my progression and decided to offhand it to weapon swap on boss kills and it seems to make a difference, so I guess that was a decent find.

Yes, even rather low values of MF make a huge difference in Ruthless.

Unfortunately MF does not fix the maps sustain. After ~80 T1-T5 maps, 2 temples and ~5k sulphite worth of delving, with 114% IIR (144% with flask), this is my current map pool:



21/132 atlas passives unlocked, 0 Kirac missions so far. At this rate, probably will be level 90+ until I reach red maps. Progress is there, but it's sooooo slow...

Might start a new character with the items I collected so far.

Update! Did quite a lot of progress on atlas, 38/132. Got a lucky streak and 2 Kirac missions, unlocked 17 atlas passives in like 30 maps. Now I have most of the passives with "maps found have XX chance to be 1 tier higher", I'm doing mostly T4-T5 maps, with occasional T6s.

I rushed to the "get 20 atlas points for free, but only small notes works" note, it really helped me getting most of the "2% for 1 tier higher maps" while still doing T1-T3 maps..

Isn't this only 18% chance for maps to be 1 tier higher? Is it enough to sustain yellow maps?

From my own playing experience, I can say that 18% is not enough, you need at least 30%, for at least some kind of sustain, preferably 40%+
At the top of the atlas there is also 15 small nodes "maps to be 1 tier higher", its another 30%. You can go this way to increase your chances.
But I did not take a significant passive skill for +20 points, because notable skills gives a lot.

If you want sustain (of whatever tier) add as much Alva as possible. The '+1% chance to Alva' are probably much better than the '+2% chance to drop 1 tier higher'.

Yes, I did get the "top-hat" and are running with 48% chance for maps to be 1 tier higher. Theres ofc other ways but for me at least its working fine.

I also have 48% increased rarity for maps, thats either not working or I misunderstood what it means. I thought it would give me better chances for magic/rare/unique maps, but that dont seem to be the case.

I think, this should affect drop rate of magic/rare/unique maps:) Maybe you was just unlucky or more likely, the base chance of magic/rare/unique cards is very low and 48% is almost nothing.
Dont remember exactly, since I played 2 months ago, but it seems to me that with atlas leveling drops more magic or rare maps.
